Before I put the cap and "rod" racks on on my truck, I used to just hang them out the back (10 ft rods/ 8ft bed) Only problem I ever had with rod damage was when I was backing out of a spot in a particular T. beach and stuck the rod tip into the dune behind me and snapped it off. Oops.
If you're lookin for the setup to hold them in the bed, talk to Bart and 5/0 as they just made one.

Never had a problem with stuff kickin up and harming my rods though, and I was traveling 150 miles each way, round trip, a couple of nights a week. But then again I was driving so fast that I think I created a vaccuum around the truck.
